The question wether tomatoes are a fruit or a vegetable is a classic category mistake. You can only ask that question if you speak of fruit as a botanical term and vegetable as a culinary term.

Tomato (and cucumber, bell pepper, etc.) is a fruit in the meaning #1, but not in the meaning #2, but people have a really hard time noticing this because they believe that words have a single fixed meaning.

There's no such thing as a vegetable, botanically speaking. It's not a botanical term. Literally nothing in existence is a vegetable if a tomato isn't. Tomatoes and other vegetables are vegetables from a culinary perspective but have other categorizations in botany.

As a gardener its a fruit, as an Italian it is a vegetable, and in my mouth it depends how I am eating it raw or cooked.

Most people don't know what "fruit" means. It isn't "sugary snack", it is a technical description of a part of certain plants.

By definition, they are both, as a "vegetable" by definition is any edible part of a plant, thus all fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits.

Learning about this gave me the same feeling as learning bees are _technically_ legally considered fish in the state of California. This happened specifically only because of the weird interaction between two laws: one where it protects various forms of wildlife and plant life native to California and a legal definition under California law defining fish as, but not limited to, invertebrates. The first law doesn't explicitly include insects, but does include fish. With bees being invertebrates, it was legally and successfully argued that bees should be apart of that first laws' protections

FFS. Tomatoes are a savoury fruit, along with cucumbers and all squashes. Beans and peas, being seeds, technically fall into the "fruit" category as well. Every gardener in the world knows this. There is no law that says "fruits" have to be sweet! What about acorns (bitter) and beechnuts (nutty).

I just imagine a vegetable to either be a plant or the stock/root of a plant. Corn messed me up for a second to think about

I'm from Kansas, USA, so tomatoes are legally a vegetable here because they can be eaten with ranch dressing. 😊 That's our system for sorting fruits and veggies.

It’s because “vegetable” isn’t a scientific term it’s a culinary term, most of our vegetable are leafy greens, but many are fruits and roots as well, it’s because one term is for science and one’s for cooking

The definitions are so simple. A fruit the part that contains the seed of the plant. A vegetable is any edible part of any plant and or mushroom.

It's completely up to what it does in most foods in one culture. Case and point: Koreans will categorize chili peppers as vegetables when they are fresh. Koreans will think of them as spices only when it is dried and crushed into gochugaru powder.

That sounds like something a Supreme Court would do. "Who cares about definitions? Let's go with our feelings." Yeah, instead of just expanding the language of the bill.
